I love Caterhams. Always wanted to buy one and the hot weather makes it even more difficult to hold off. I don't have a garage though at the moment so won't buy until it's got somewhere to take cover.

What model is your one?

Litte off topic, but start a new thread and I will talk you into buying one! They are just fantastic! I have the roadsport with the 1.8 k series rover engine. Its not the quickest car around, 0-60 around 5seconds and top speed of around 115, but how to goes around corners and the bracking is just out of this world!

Bought it for track use and to take some heat off the Audi, you can drive this car like you stole it all day long, and nothing gets too hot or breaks! Just fantastic ... and the best part, it holds its value!

Should have got the ic painted black then would still have its Q car status.

Wonder if you could get a sump guard made up as well to help prevent a reacurrance.

I went to Jacob for the turbos in the end ... KO4/RS6 ones

Doug has sorted me out with a map to get me down to MRC for a proper map ...

Here are some pics from it today ... although, looks like he has found a coolant look, and it may mean another engine pull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO!
